Of course. Yes. Thank you so much.
I'll treat you to a really nice meal next time.
What? Oh, you liked the place where we ate today?
Gosh, no. I'll buy you something really delicious.
Okay. Rest up.
Bye.
Gosh! What...
You're too loud.
Why did you have to answer the call here?
Oh, it's just...
Darn it.
I had finally managed to fall asleep.
Darn you.
Seriously!
What? Why?
I did nothing wrong. Why am I so startled?
I was just talking to our medical advisor.
Why is she sleeping on the couch anyway?
Goodness.
(Be My Dream Family)
(Episode 76)
Hey, Sang Min.
Where are you going so early?
I have to go out to take care of something.
I see.
You still need to eat breakfast. Come on.
- No, it's okay. - Eat something before you leave.
- No, I'm... - Go on.
- Here. - I got it.
This is the best quick breakfast when you're busy in the morning.
- How is it? - It's good.
The ingredients are very simple, but it's really tasty.
Right? My kids like this too.
It's like a war zone out there, you know.
You can't go to war on an empty stomach.
You need to eat a hearty breakfast to be able to stand tall...
and feel confident, right?
Yes.
Right, those characters you drew for Sol are very nice.
I know you drew them quickly while playing with her,
but you sure are an artist.
Oh, give me your new painting.
I want to hang it on the wall, where everyone can see.
Oh, I'm sorry.
It's a work of art, so I should buy it from you.
I'll buy it, okay?
- Okay. - All right.
I should really get going though.
- Really? - Thank you for breakfast.
No problem. Hey, wait.
- Have one more. - Oh, okay.
- Thank you. - Have a good day.
- You too. - Bye.
In Seo.
Wake up.
Yes?
I'm going to work early...
so I can finish everything and come home early today.
We'll leave right away, so pack your bag before I get home.
- What? - Okay?
Mom, I said I'd take care of it on my own.
No, I can't trust you.
You've totally fooled me a number of times.
I'm sure there are still things that I don't know about.
Yes, I'm sure of it.
Have you really given up on college?
You said you were curious about it all.
You said you wanted to experience college life,
go to a prestigious school, and be a good son.
Yes, I will.
I want to go to college so I am studying.
I only spent time on hobbies when I couldn't concentrate.
Judo and woodcarving are just my hobbies...
Why are you talking about hobbies?
How can you study while doing everything you want to?
They say times have changed,
but I don't know about that.
All I know is...
that you should study when you can.
I know that you shouldn't miss your chance.
What can you do without a college degree?
Whatever you do in life,
you should at least graduate from a college in Seoul.
The opportunities you get will be on a whole other level.
Honey.
A college in Seoul might be really difficult for him.
You should tell him he can go to any college...
and lower your expectations to be realistic.
Sure, I wish I could do that.
If only that were the reality,
I'd do so too. But it isn't.
You know what I mean.
Frankly speaking,
if you and I...
had graduated from better colleges, we'd have a different life now.
Yes, on the television and all,
without graduating from college, or a prestigious one at that,
there are people who are successful. And why is that?
It's because it's that rare.
It's that hard.
But I'm not telling you to be successful.
All I want...
is that you don't get eliminated on the first round...
when you submit your resume to a company,
so you can make a living for yourself.
Is that...
such a ridiculous wish?
Am I asking something huge from you?
No.
I wouldn't be this anxious and fussy if I knew you couldn't do it.
But look at your sister.
Yes, I know twins are not the same people.
Still, I raised you by feeding you the same things...
and put you to sleep at the same time.
Your sister studies hard and does well in school,
but you don't.
Then what does that mean?
It means you don't try hard enough.
I will provide an environment for you...
where you can try harder at least now.
Go to the boarding academy.
Pack your stuff.
Oh, my gosh.
Your mom might sound harsh, but she's not wrong.
When I look back on life, I see it too.
Wherever you submit a resume,
a college degree is a must.
Your mom's family wasn't well-off...
and she had to go to a college that offered her a scholarship.
She regrets not being able to go to a better school.
And I...
regret that I didn't study harder.
But sending me to a boarding academy is too much.
We feel sorry as your parents.
"It's fine if you don't go to college."
"Do what you want to. We'll support you."
We want to tell you that too,
but all we do is force you to study.
Your mom is upset that she can't do more for you.
No, that's not...
I don't need all of that.
Yes, I know.
Come on. It won't be that bad.
Just go, okay?
- Dad, seriously... - Goodness.
Hello. You're going to work early.
I'm back from a run.
Well...
- Da Bal. - Yes?
I heard that In Seo has been learning judo.
What? Yes.
It was a secret. Did you find out?
Even if he told you to keep it a secret,
you should have given me a heads up.
In Seo is a repeater.
He's at a point where he could change his life,
so why does he need to learn judo?
Even if he wanted to learn, you should have stopped him.
I see.
But the thing is, he didn't practice every day.
He dropped by to develop his physical strength...
- and clear his head... - That...
must make him use so much strength.
He didn't have to learn it...
just so he could catch a pickpocket...
and get hurt.
What? He caught someone? He was hurt?
Okay, sure.
There was no other way if he decided not to tell me, but still...
I wish you could have either stopped him...
or told me.
I'm upset.
But, Young Hye...
Come. Let's eat.
I heard In Seo got hurt.
Did you hear?
What? Why?
Yes, I heard.
Some guy snatched someone's bag and ran away,
but In Seo caught him.
He got hurt in the process.
Well, it's not serious.
He just got some scratches.
But everyone was surprised.
After hearing about it yesterday, I was going to tell you...
but I couldn't because I went to see Min Hee.
Young Hye looked pretty upset.
I didn't tell her that he was learning judo.
Yes, I thought she knew,
but she had no idea about that or the woodcarving.
She must be upset.
Min Hee looked downcast after leaving the drama.
Although she says it was planned in advance,
she was physically hurt too.
Everyone is in a rut.
When you see your sisters-in-law,
ask them how they're doing and be considerate, okay?
- Yes. - Yes.
I really enjoyed her drama. It's too bad.
Would it be weird if I called or texted her?
No, that would be nice.
You should text her.
Can I go and see In Seo before I go to school?
He must be in pain.
Yes, you can drop by with me.
Go ahead.
Eat your fill.
Another day has started.
I need a strong coffee.
Me too.
I have a meeting with Writer Seo later.
I want to show her Mr. Geum's painting.
Can I do that?
I want to.
It's not something I can decide.
You're making a recommendation as a member of the design team.
I guess you're doing this since you know Mr. Geum's situation.
Yes, you should show Writer Seo.
When I saw it, it definitely had a good vibe.
Although it's not an official portfolio,
I think she'd understand.
But don't expect too much.
It's Writer Seo's decision, after all.
Okay, got it.
I'm going to contact Aunt Min Hee. Do you want to do it together?
What? Sure, let's do that since she was hurt.
But what do we say?
Ga Eun?
Hello. Geu Roo is with me too.
Hello.
I'm sure she is. You normally work in the office at this hour.
What's the occasion?
I heard that you were hurt. Do you feel any better?
What? Yes, I'm fine.
So did you call me to ask how I'm doing?
Yes. Tell me if there's anything we can do for you.
That's all right.
I never imagined you would call me.
Thank you.
I'm really fine though.
My injury is almost healed now.
I'll come back with a bigger drama,
so don't worry about me.
Yes, all right. Bye.
Goodness, what was that?
They have such good manners.
Even my unexpected in-laws take such good care of me.
But the guy I intentionally married...
My gosh.
Forget it. It's like I shot myself in the foot.
Oh, my.
I have to be in a big drama.
But how can I do that?
I have no idea.
Let's just watch TV.
Mr. Lee.
May I show you a candidate for the illustrations?
Why? Is there an illustrator you want to recommend?
I just think the drawing style would suit the story.
Well, you don't even know enough...
to comment on whether or not it suits the story.
Sure, whatever.
That fussy woman won't be pleased with anything.
Were you talking about me?
- Hello. - Oh, you're here.
I was just wondering when you'd be here.
Hello.
Strong iced coffee?
Thank you, Ga Eun.
All right, let's get some work done.
You said you'd show me the InDesign layouts.
Oh, yes. Here.
Here, you see the head and tail bands.
And I'll go over the materials for the endpaper and the cover.
Mr. Geum.
- Mr. Geum. - Yes.
Yes, ma'am.
Please empty this and leave it in front of my door.
Wait.
Here.
What is this?
What's going on, honey?
I asked him to empty this, but he gave it back to me.
What are you doing?
No, I can't do this.
I'm sorry, but this isn't part of our job.
As security guards, our job is to ensure your safety and security.
We can't accommodate all sorts of personal requests...
from the residents.
Have a good day, sir.
I'm speechless. Hey.
What are you saying?
The maintenance fees we pay include your wages.
The Residents' Council hired you.
I'm the resident representative of this building. Don't you know me?
What's your problem?
All the other security guards take care of things like this.
Right, we take care of the things that we get paid to do.
It does not include emptying your food waste bin...
and putting it in front of your door.
Have a good day.
Yes, right. I understand.
We'll get it sorted out right away. Yes, sir.
What on earth did you do?
The residents are complaining. The phone has been ringing nonstop.
Go apologize to them at once.
What?
Darn it.
No, I can't do that.
My goodness, what's wrong with you?
Listen.
I've been trying to be very patient with the residents,
but this is out of line.
We shouldn't let them walk all over us.
I understand this place is notorious for its overbearing residents...
and that everyone thinks it's just the way it is.
I heard on the news...
that some security guards are given rotten food...
and have to put up with verbal and physical abuse,
but I really don't think we should tolerate things like this.
We have our designated tasks.
Let's say no to such unfair requests and just do our job, okay?
You're afraid you'd lose your job, right?
I'm scared too.
I really can't get fired.
I need money to take care of my kids, and I'm heavily in debt.
Plus, no one else would hire me.
We have to keep this job for a long time, you know?
But at this rate, we won't be able to.
I'll be filing an official complaint,
but they'll only listen to me if you support my opinion too.
I'm... I can't.
Please!
As you can see,
I'm old and weak.
I can barely manage to do the things I'm told to do.
So I should be obedient at least.
Otherwise, I would have been let go a long time ago.
I'm just going to...
keep doing what I've been doing.
Are you serious?
We should say no and put our foot down...
If I lose this job, it puts my family's lives at risk!
What?
My wife has dementia, and my grandchild is very young.
They'll all starve to death if I lose this job.
I'll go apologize to them, so you just stay here.
I'll do it.
Wait.
Every paragraph will be indented,
and the line spacing will be 1.3.
Okay, sounds good.
Will you show me the draft when it's ready?
- Yes. - Yes, of course.
You should be the first one to see it.
What about the illustrations?
I have to say, it's hard. I guess I'm asking for too much.
No, not at all.
The illustrations must go perfectly with the story.
Well... I showed you the old version of this,
but Lee Sang Kyung sent us a new portfolio.
What do you think of this?
Do you want to see the actual portfolio?
Just email it to me.
I'll take a look and let you know.
Oh, sure.
Thank you. Let me know if you find a different illustrator as well.
Okay, thank you.
I have your number, right?
Mr. Lee can't hide anything.
He's so transparent. I can see right through him.
I like it. No headaches.
Excuse me, ma'am.
There's another illustrator I have in mind.
But it's not a proper portfolio. I'm sorry.
Would you mind taking a look at it?
Not at all. I'd love to see it.
Oh, sure.
- Here. - Just colored pencil drawings?
Yes, I just wanted you to see if they'll go with the story.
I see.
In Seo, come on out.
Come on. Your dad is waiting in the car.
Mom.
Yes, I'm your mom. That is why I'm doing this.
Come on. Hurry.
Let's go.
Study hard.
I'll call you, In Seo.
He won't have his phone there.
Seriously?
Fix yourselves something for dinner.
Okay, see you.
I'll pick it up on the way.
The blueberry flavor, right?
See you soon.
Look at you bending over backwards for her.
Are you her boyfriend or an errand boy?
She wants cake, so I'm just picking one up for her.
Aren't you done for the day?
A director can't leave right on the dot.
I can't go home until I finish everything.
Get going. Go blow out candles and whatever.
I'll get going then. Have a good night.
Good night, my foot.
Can't she just go pick it up herself if she's craving it?
Why tell him to pick it up fully knowing he's at work? Gosh.
Why do women do this?
Do as I say.
When a husband brings food for his wife, it makes her happy.
Goodness, I don't understand women.
You said you stayed up all night to write the proposal.
Go home and sleep.
No, no.
How can I go home when my girlfriend is working late?
Just focus on work.
I'm sitting too far for you to see me.
This isn't good.
All right.
I'll work here.
Seeing the back of my head will cheer you up.
My, you're so lucky to have such a supportive boyfriend.
Here. I didn't randomly find this on the street or something.
Cake?
I don't care if you eat it or smear it all over your face.
What a way to make me feel even more miserable.
- What? - Is this your way...
of celebrating me being let go?
Shall I light the candles and blow them out?
I bought it for you. Fine, then don't eat it.
What?
What's with him? Did he actually buy this for me?
Geum Sang Gu.
Hey, what's this about?
For real?
Did you buy this hoping that eating sweets will cheer me up?
You actually bought this cake for me?
I bought it for no reason. What? You got a problem with that?
My gosh, this is so unlike you.
Are you having an affair or something?
Goodness. Get out. Go.
- I'm sick of it. Go. - I'm happy.
This is so funny.
He's still my husband, is that it?
You don't want me to go starving?
Oh, my. A blueberry cake?
He bought a delicious one.
What's going on?
I'm done.
That's why I told him to go home and rest.
Sweet dreams. I'm leaving.
I'm not sleeping.
It's so easy to trick you.
Let's go.
By the way,
isn't it too deep in the mountains?
It would feel scary at night.
Oh, my.
I think I hear an elk.
This is how a boarding academy should be.
There should be no place to have fun so that kids can focus on studying.
In Seo, sit up straight.
This isn't a prison.
I'm sure you're worried,
but you can make a phone call once a day...
and they serve good meals.
I've even read students' reviews on the Internet.
We managed to register you because there was a vacancy.
They say there's no other place as nice as this.
I...
I need to use the restroom.
Yes, you must be nervous.
Go ahead. I saw it at the end of the hallway.
Okay.
Goodness.
I'm the one who wants to cry.
I do, but the shock from you, In Seo,
and all of Ms. Kang's family stabbing me in the back...
is so dumbfounding that I can't even cry.
I'm not crying.
I just feel bad for him.
I know.
If he had studied hard and didn't lie to me,
we wouldn't have come here.
But why is the counselor not coming yet?
They said we could come at this hour.
